looking forward to expand its privatization program to spur economic growth the idea is to fully proud of privatized fourteen state companies by two thousand and seventeen but have more on that in our business bulletin impacting them it's. just after ten pm here in the russian capital you're watching our t.v. well it took just a few minutes for an earthquake and tsunami to devastates waves of japan a tragedy that will take years to recover from and for some people it's simply too much to deal with the trauma of thousands of lives lost entire towns leveled and the threat of nuclear catastrophe arky sean thomas reports on the worrying rise in japanese suicides. a triple disaster on

a scale the world has never known causing damage destruction and uncertainty forcing tens of thousands of japanese refugees to leave their lives behind and seek shelter anywhere they can something to do. but the but the problem is the minority. be they have been accused. of their classmates you know of course by offshore. causing. if. not the. will primarily a move towards itself preservation this idea of desertion is defined by many as characteristically in japanese and has earned of those who have evacuated the dishonorable title of traitor. of course it's hard to hear that we have family neighbors or think about our health but in other words we run away we escape because we're scared of radiation but there is no example in the world of something

similar and the consequences are their ongoing. while those who have moved to shelters here in tokyo are facing it guilt and the pressure to move back home there are others who have lost everything cannot and all the overwhelming change and they are facing even darker demons japan already has one of the highest suicide rates in the world and following the disaster in march the government has issued a warning about a possible nationwide epidemic of depression here some organic farmers commit suicide because you know. soil is everything very good soil. after many hours of hard work and it's just one time in one night going to go so. far. i'm very sad to hear the news and many other farmers are also very much difference to

a recent national survey in japan performed by dr roshini and his team shows that suicide rates in japan have been found increased in the months since the disaster compared to the same timeframe in the previous two years but the demographics are not what you might expect. since her lake increase that. note. that areas because some by both struggling because. they have no characters to mix inside this disaster has certainly taken its toll on japan's economy and such constant reminders of an intense topic can harm the collective psyche of the people who live here as well because of the. tsunami disaster last year disaster many people actually lost their jobs or working on the show was crushed. so. yeah they have a for many

a good reason to commit suicide because in japan's death toll to keep rising even though he initially disaster subsided months before in japan sean thomas forty. well the cleanup at the stricken fukushima nuclear plant has been praised by the head of the u.n. nuclear watchdog who said that the radiation could be contained by the end of the year as yukiya amano is visiting the facility to assess the progress in preventing the nuclear crisis from getting worse because she was reactors were heavily damaged by the earthquake and tsunami and it caused the course to melt and it will be stimulus the massive radiation into the environment the workers have since been trying to restore the cooling system and stop contaminated water from the reactors leaking into the sea but you know she wrote based nuclear experts. believes the i.a.e.a. visit is a farce and the japanese government still isn't doing enough to protect people. in

essence what this is is just just trying to give a nice shine to a terrible terrible situation and policy and not really in any way dealing with the actual problems that are facing us here in japan please tell answer still leaching radioactivity into the environment every day into the sea and through the steam of the cold and into the air and what's what's now preoccupied many people in japan is that even for those of us that live far enough away that we thought we were not in any way threatened by the radiation from the plants we're now finding that because of insufficient oversight into the food supply and public health questions that radiation is turning up in all kinds of food products so you're finding now people in far away from fukushima areas are now beginning to realize that they're not going to be escaping the radiation because of that distance and additionally besides that there's still a rather chaotic policy about what will be happening in the areas that were contaminated near those plants but outside of the evacuation zone for example or

pushing a city. i was a nuclear energy expert robert jacobson hiroshima explaining the current situation in japan. of iraq obama is calling on the american people to step up to the plate and pressure their politicians in dealing with the debt standoff well congress has a week left to raise the country's both a trillion dollar debt ceiling if it wants to avoid a potentially devastating default in the nationwide address obama warned that an american default would impact around the world now he blames republicans for stalling talks and refusing to accept a balanced approach the republican speaker john boehner hit back accusing obama of spending beyond the country's needs and expecting quote a blank check the republicans and democrats have been locked in a dispute over whether spending cuts or tax hikes is the answer to the debt crisis a washington washer matthew vega says the government needs to act fast to avoid an

investor exodus. the obama and the democrats in congress just want to keep on spending. and so they would like to see the debt ceiling raised so that they can continue to give rewards to their supporters among the labor unions of the various political organizations that are sympathetic to the democratic party's carlos' the u.s. is able to keep raising its debt ceiling because people investors around the world have confidence in the united states they believe that the u.s. government will honor its outstanding obligations and so as long as people have faith in the investors and faith in the u.s. government in its credit worthiness then the u.s. could keep raising its debt ceiling the problem right now is that the debt is so high that that in itself is starting to become a negative factor that could lead to

a credit rating downgrade of the united states. if china loses confidence in. america the american government's ability to pay its debts then the u.s. will have nowhere to run to the u.s. with the only would it be only choice it would have would be to keep printing money to inflate the currency run the printing presses and risk devastating hyperinflation or the u.s. government would have to drastically cut spending and implement pretty severe austerity measures. meanwhile the mighty are on the brink over and europe as well as ratings dried moody's is warning powerhouses germany and france that their bailout of greece could see their own credit ratings downgraded about software greece's score dropped to just one notch above default last week financial analyst fabio demasi believes backs are the only winners from the greek bailout. we are risking greece will rescue in our long we rescue. maybe italy or spain someday but

the truth is we risk you'll drown them all french or british birds hold the birds against these countries and basically if you want to bring your holes in order and become something very public for you since you have you have to. wealthy people you have to pay tax or other brands so we have so far a benefit and course the cross is basically also through it that we reduce a lot of tax payers money because. we could really experiencing the european union this is not work and so forth and still ahead on the program a top north korean diplomat is invited for a rare talks in the us will be up whether it will be long stalled negotiations scrapping entre version of the nuclear program. and we hear how washington's internal squabbles are fueling the missile defense stalemate between

russia and the u.s. we'll get the inside from russia's nato on boy in a few moments. kossovo has sent its special forces to the sort of populated north after eight tit for tat trade ground caused tension flare up police seize control over one border crossing while the other two are being blocked by local serbs and possible as possible as move has been widely condemned by the un and the e.u. among others and it's feared it will still make the cost of open range its independence in two thousand and eight when it unilaterally split from serbia some six hundred thousand serbs still live in the region but they refuse to recognize qassam and sovereignty of possibles independence has been a bone of contention between serbia and the e.u. which is pressing belgrade to recognise kossovo before it can become a member of the balkans expert in abortion abolish believes the cost of those actions are in play. the situation but it's the e.u. that created the tension in the first place. the decision to shoot to introduce the

dream or you have. to send a special forces is your next one to face the syrian government which has been nothing but a co-operative. in the ongoing negotiations which were set up by the e.u. is a matter for the news that i've been listening to this morning in the cage section this will continue to completely bypassed or to you. or has been actually completed their complicity in cooperation and honesty you know who should which is worse. and imagining the worst and really noisy new regime that is. that has ever seen or interested in you should you know of it came to power through violence has conducted why different times you get sure you're not opening populations who weren't for the white spirit hologram of syrians in march two thousand and four and he has basically sure we can behave in

a civilized fashion in going into including the region of independence and you know this show honestly and you wish is there to see you keep your independence contrary to international law and use the rules so obviously there's a mistake here so making it is a mess that the europeans and nato. basically needed need to fix. all the latest threat to middle east peace is a promise by israel to punish the palestinians if they go ahead with plans to declare statehood at the year web and september well that's considering canceling the lab mark nine hundred ninety three oslo accord which is the main road map in resolving the middle east conflict that the u.s. is among the countries refusing to support the palestinians moves towards recognition and joining us now is dr stevens who has a politics and international studies professor at san francisco university thank you very much mr as soon as for being out of program now what will be the effect if israel cancels the the os. it. only gets somewhat difficult for the united states

which for years has been. insisting that the slow process was the path to middle eastern peace congress just passed a resolution by an overwhelming bipartisan majority that. claimed that it reiterated the importance of the oslo process but ironically tried to blame the palestine authority for violating it simply by including hamas as a. member of the coalition government even though israel as parties are just extreme which are also rejected. with the israeli government all. these are slow it would mean the united states would need need to effectively support israel's action therefore announce the very resolution the united states is the guarantor for ok let's talk about the role of the head of states or washington does or is refusing to support the palestinian drive to secure

a un declaration of their independence why is why does the us starting oppose this move. and frankly i think it's a throwback to the mentality the idea that. colonize occupied people only have independence. on the parameters decided upon by the occupier i mean if you. read the statements from the of on the stray ssion from congress on this and you substituted callsign israel for algeria in france or rhodesia and britain or namibia and south africa or east timor and indonesia you know you would see is basically a. kind kind of mentality be the right of self-determination has been the worst on international law for most of the past century and so it's this really is literally a reactionary or kind of foreign policy position or let's look at it from because

fact of the palestinians now how just how vital to the process is america stands in terms of creating this palestinian state and its development. many ways is the desperate move the palestinians it will seem sounds of course sort of a preferred negotiated settlement as would most observers but the israeli government has basically is saying the palestinians could only have a state if it consists of a series of noncontiguous largely urban can times are surrounded by by israel arab east jerusalem the largest concentration of palestinians and their center for their religious and cultural and academic and and political life would be cut off it would be come part of israel as with the jordan valley as well you know large swathes of territory in between there would be like if there's a famous band you stance apartheid south africa it's certainly not not viable it's only clearing independence based on the twenty percent of palestine i was occupied

by israel nine hundred sixty seven they're hoping to say this is hoping to to essentially force a crisis. isolate israel united states in the international community in recognition for much of the rest of the world and hope that that will move the process for trying to guess reactive may not work but we may ways to process died many years ago all right thank you very much for your insight on the situation of dr stevens in as from the university of san francisco thank you. now our to dot com is of course available around the clock for you to watch the news that you choose and here's a selection of what we've learned are lying in the new york hotel maid who accuses the former i.m.f. chief of sexually assaulting her and goes public saying she wants to see governor extras gone behind bars. heroes of the world unite to report from comic-con in san diego and the biggest expo of fiction's finest fantasies.

now a senior north korean diplomat has been invited to new york for talks on how to revive the stalled negotiations on its controversial nuclear program well some media suggest he's already on his way to the u.s. now the move comes just days after top nuclear all voice from north and south korea got together for the first time in two years during a security summit in geneva for their they agreed to return it to six party talks as soon as possible and go see actions broke down after north korea's deadly shelling of the south yongbyon i learned in what it claimed was in response to provoke that of military drills well the u.s. says north korea must dismantle its nuclear facilities before any deal can be reached your expert. battle will be tough as a north has always seen the u.s. as hostile. acts a little bit of desperation especially because when you look at the cause which you dismantle you nuclear program first and then we decide to talk to you that's an

absolute no no i was in north korea last year you know confirmed from north. you know fishes directly hit the state awfully is the same state of play as it was fifty eight years ago the fifty eighth anniversary of people armistice north korea south korea are still at war with each other there's an armistice and in the north koreans are saying we have to sit down the same thing with the americans and then we going to formally and the war and then we're going to discuss everything including the nuclear program and the war from the north korean point of view is a war against america is not south korea the view it as a block to the government of the americas and the view that south korea in the minds of the young of course is through all cuba by by american troops there are thirty six to thirty eight thousand u.s. troops but the north korea says it has a western occupation of south korea so no less you start to i really doubt this

basic difference is important it's absolutely impossible to even start talking. asia expert pepe escobar there telling us what he thinks needs to be done to bring north korea back to the negotiating table. evergreen red appears no closer between the u.s. at rush hour how to develop missile defense in europe and that's a spike further talks in washington this tuesday nato says the system is designed to protect the european cards that are from countries like iran russia fears the project is aimed at its military might and is offering alternatives the u.s. is plowing ahead with its plan and despite objections from the kremlin russia's envoy to nato was at tuesday's talks and afterwards he told r.t. that washington has to overcome its inner vicious. if you will that there are questions that remain unanswered if missile threats against europe come from the

south why is the us placing part of its military infrastructure in the north close to russia's borders this is the question that we can't get an answer to when we ask for legal guarantees the persisting is not aimed at russia we're told there's a big conflict between republicans and democrats in congress and they start to explain that conflict but we're not interested in that what's important for us is that the u.s. is behind this project and they should provide security for all partners russia is very flexible if for some fabricated political reasons they rejected our suggestion to integrate our means of anti missile defense then there's another scheme they could be cooperation between two independent systems if nato wants to defend itself that's no problem but if russia wants to provide its own security so be it otherwise it's like when you come home and discover somebody else's bodyguard sitting in your bedroom he's been sent to provide your security who's going to like that so if all our suggestions are rejected and it's understood that iran is just

a reason to have the plan russia's nuclear potential is the real target then russia will come up with its own military response which nobody is going to like. polish investigators have included the pilot error was to blame for last year's plane tragedy that's according to media reports with a crash in russia clean the lives of president lech kaczynski and much of the country's political elite warsaw previously challenge the intergovernmental panel finding which claimed the flight crew could be found the pilots had ignored a warning from russian air traffic controllers to abandon the landing of poland decided to carry out its own investigation of the plane crash during its descent into a russian airfield in a poor weather conditions and all ninety six people on board were killed the polish investigation is expected to be published before the weekend. let's look at some of the world's other main use right now the man who is the

a function of the fight that we're going to face to do this. it's not so much about the money or there's a significant amount of money in both of the original plan was for thirty three billion dollars will be raised to me which will give a hundred and twenty billion dollars but this is probably possibly going to reduce smoking isolation programs and for him because here is state run companies from deficient in the point is to get the government out of the economy and hand it over to the private sector so this will have hope for the. implants even in terms of improving productivity. and a quick look at the markets not will reverse from earlier gains but brand has added seventy three cents investors are concerned the u.s. debt deadlock may damage the economy of the world's largest consumer of u.s. stocks that makes this out of the dow jones of extending losses into the third session as lawmakers in washington remains in
